Gamemode Workshop

I'm surprised that nobody is talking about custom game modes yet!

Personally I think custom game modes will be a great addition to the workshop.

I've read this on http://www.ongamers.com/articles/dota-2-7th-march-patch-content-analysis/1100-1001/

Custom gamemode strings.

+ "game_mode_15" "CUSTOM"

+ "DOTA_Workshop_SubmissionType_CustomGame" "CUSTOM GAME MODE"

+ "DOTA_Workshop_SubmissionType_CustomGame_Desc" "A new game mode"

+ "DOTA_Workshop_CustomGame_Help" "Custom Game Mode Help"

+ "DOTA_Workshop_ImportCustomGame" "Publish Custom Game Mode"

+ "DOTA_ItemTest_CustomGame_Intro" "Here you can select your addon folder and have it packaged up into a .vpk for publishing."

+ "DOTA_Workshop_ChooseCustomGame" "Select addon folder"

+ "DOTA_Workshop_ChooseCustomGameDesc" "Select the dota_addons folder containing your custom game mode"

+ "custom_difficulty_0" "Normal"

+ "custom_difficulty_1" "Hard"

+ "custom_difficulty_2" "Insane"

What do you guys think how this will be done? Do you think Valve is going to monetize on mods? Keep it free by players subscribing to mods? Let's talk!

I saw that too, I'm really interested in this but I'm wondering how we will be able to change things around.

Well, it's been obvious for about a year now that that was on the horizon, and this is just he strings that facilitate the submission part. I'd be much more excited if we heard something about any tools or something

Besides, custom maps are already being developed and are available in an unofficial capacity. So yeah, this is basically just he code for the "submit" button ^^

Any idea if Valve will let custom mods/maps use Steam cloud storage for persistence?

Probably would use cloud sync and storage.

Anyway, old warcraft map favourites would most definitely return. TD's would mostly be satisfying again.

strings like that turn up for a while now, still no official support yet, i hope they release an official sdk and proper documentation soon. atm its reverse engineering most of the time and ofc try and error.
